How Gwarth An Drae, Helston prices moved
The chart tracks the median Gwarth An Drae, Helston house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2019. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £57,975 | £128,732 |
| 2000s | 8 | £150,000 | £273,256 |
| 2010s | 3 | £214,500 | £302,445 |
The highest yearly median on record for Gwarth An Drae, Helston is £248,000 in 2019; the lowest is £55,225 in 1995. Across the full 25-year record the cash median has moved from £55,225 to £248,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £122,626, so the real change over the whole record is +164.5% — about +4.14% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +30.5% in cash against +1.7% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Gwarth An Drae, Helston values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Gwarth An Drae, Helston is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 85 | 49.1% | £177,500 | £49,950 – £340,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Gwarth An Drae, Helston
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 173 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 173 | 100.0% | £167,500 |
| New build | 59 | 34.1% | £89,950 |
| Existing home | 114 | 65.9% | £189,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -52.4%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Living in Gwarth An Drae, Helston
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cornwall, 37.4% of 321,040 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 14.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 3,287 | 1.0% |

| C | 79,827 | 24.9% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cornwall at £1,005 a month as of Jun 2026 — £692 for a one-bedroom home and £1,082 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £167,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.20% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of TR13, 17 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 11 violent, 1 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 0 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 9.8 times quieter.
Against the 570,305 residents the 2021 census counted in Cornwall, that is 0.03 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Gwarth An Drae, Helston
The 2021 census counted 570,305 residents in Cornwall across 250,533 households. 67.4% of those households own their home and 32.5% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
12 state and independent schools have a TR13 postcode: 11 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Gwarth An Drae, Helston compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Gwarth An Drae, Helston sits above that national figure — +6.3%.
Within Helston the street ranks 263 of 445 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £177,350 (-5.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,067 per square metre, across 37 of the 173 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Gwarth An Drae, Helston sits in Cornwall, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cornwall at 8.6 times median local earnings of £33,889 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Gwarth An Drae, Helston?
The median price paid in Gwarth An Drae, Helston across every sale on the register is £167,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Gwarth An Drae, Helston?
173 sales are on record for Gwarth An Drae, Helston, the most recent completing on 10 Feb 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +30.5% between 2008 and 2019. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +1.7%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Gwarth An Drae, Helston house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £248,000, set in 2019. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Gwarth An Drae, Helston?
£2,067 per square metre, from the 37 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 10 Feb 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
